Baxi Manresa guard Retin Obasohan caught everyone off guard last Saturday at Nou Congost by shooting his free throws left-handed to protect a right-wrist sprain.

Facing a demanding schedule and several injuries in Diego Ocampo's squad, the Belgian player opted for an unconventional method against Laguna Tenerife. Obasohan successfully made two out of three free throws using his non-dominant hand, a skill he has been refining during recent practice sessions.
The Antwerp-born guard has been struggling with this injury for nearly a month, missing games in Hamburg and against Barça. By utilizing the FIBA break, he has perfected a more arched shooting motion with his left hand, ensuring he can still contribute offensively while his right wrist recovers.
